Summary

When God challenges us to live generously, His challenge is not primarily about money—it is about our hearts. In his new five-part series Living Generously, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges us to stop asking, “What’s in it for me?” and start asking, “How does God want to use me?” In this series, you’ll learn from a widow, a king, and a church whose love for God overflowed into giving—and you’ll see how the gracious love of God compels us to give of our time, our resources, and our talents: willingly, joyfully, and sacrificially.
